Right-Wing Discussion Thread XVII: The Snark Enlightenment

[Washington Resistance Army]

The 50 Prince Electors have cast their votes, and they have chosen Donald Trump to be the Imperial President of the Holy American Empire.

Reports of violent riots amongst cities of dissenting states will be but a footnote for this historic event.

That's not very libertarian.

There's not very many libertarians left here.

‘The Trumps will be a dynasty that lasts for decades’

Okay heaven, you had your fun and games, please get back to enforcing the mandate.

One heaven's mandate is another heaven's Trump.

Libertarism is a fair weather ideology. It has been destroyed by the harsh storms of history.

Climate change did it, if you will so.

The degree to which our current socio-political weather is stormy has been greatly overstated. Climate change is a big problem though, but not one that demands authoritarianism.

Authoritarians don’t tend to be very liberty-friendly.

Arriving back here after a good hiatus.

When it comes to the French Revolution, I would like to know whether most people here have a negative stance towards it. Since RWDT is quite diverse (ranging from Theocratic Legitimists to Hedonist Liberal Republicans), I`ll guess that the answers will differ.

What interests me is that Anti-Enlightenment ideologies are making a come back on the political stage. The Neo-Reactionary Movement (led by the God-Chosen Mencius Moldbug) has started to gain some traction. But I think in the long term that the Neoreactionary movement (full of anti-liberalism, anti-democracy and anti-egalitarianism) will remain a marginalized fringe movement unable to mobilize en masse and gaining power.

I tend to operate based on the assumption that a person I meet is not authoritarian.

Someone with a political compass Social Libertarian/Authoritarian score of 6.72 is probably fairly authoritarian.

You hopefully don't believe that this "compass" is of any proper meaning beyond some funsy forum memetics right?

That's bad. You shouldn't assume the worst in people.

Authoritarianism is the ideological form of assuming the worst in people.

It demands both a new type of thinking and approach. The longer this is being delayed, the more brutal and harsh the consequences will be.

It's not even that, it's honestly closer to authoritarianism than anything, giving how most (Not all) Libertarians act out their ideology.

They want everyone to live how they wish without government interference or pressure, while all the while acting as if everyone wants to live that way and tries forcing that way of life on others. No sorry, I like social safety nets and taxes going to federal projects that aren't just the military, thank you.

If they answered it honestly then it's an indication of what they potentially believe.

It usually tells me i am a sweet and cute left-liberal in the green bloc or near the center. Do you think is accurate? I mean if its indicative there would be no reason to worry about me for you...

I don't know, I don't know you well enough to properly judge your political beliefs, so for all I know you might very well be sweet and cute and inside the left-liberal green square.

[Ghost in the Shell]

Pan-Germanism was a political movement not a religious one that is older than Germany itself.

And the contemporary form of it was rooted in paganism.

Yes many high ranking Nazis claimed to be Christian, their actions say otherwise. Most soldiers who fought for Germany were just ordinary Germans fighting for their country. They swore oaths to God, but Hitler didn't recognise the God of Abraham. He only used him as a way of control

You are not a mind-reader please don't pretend to be and please don't make shit up

What did I make up? Nothing I said there is at odds with the historical consensus. Hitler wasn't a Christian. It's impossible to insinuate that the man who called Christianity weak and said Islam or the Shinto would be better suited to the German people, that the man who made up his own religion (Positive Christianity) which replaced Christian imagery with Nazi imagery (including replacing the Bible with Mein Kampf and the Crucifix with a Sword), that the man who authorised the SS to desecrate Catholic Churches and that the man who repeatedly decried Christianity in private was a Christian.

The problem is that while we absolutely do need authoritarianism to stop Climate Change, we also don't; because the State is pretty much under control of the very same bodies and entities that need to be forced to do something to fix climate change so if you give it authoritarian powers, its more likely to fuck up more (by banning actual research regarding climate change) than fix shit.

It's not that Pan-Germanism was rooted in paganism, its that Modern paganism originally started as a way to help create a pan-German identity. (By which I mean the use of paganism as an actual religion rather than a literary wonder or something like that, which was normally the view people had of paganism during the centuries before the 19th)

Climate change is a big problem though, but not one that demands authoritarianism.

Yeah, none of this is true.

[North German Realm]

Climate change is a big problem though, but not one that demands authoritarianism.

Yeah, none of this is true.

So it's not a big problem?

[Kowani]

Yeah, none of this is true.

So it's not a big problem?

…Fuck.
I did not think that through.

[Washington Resistance Army]

So lads how do you feel about the revelation that Kowani is a climate change denier?
